Male Heavy Liberal Party Candidate List Mistaken For Festival Line Up

As the country embraces for the upcoming federal election, several media outlets have made the embarrassing blunder of mistaking the male heavy Liberal party candidate list for an Australian festival line up.

With women making up 21 of the Coalition’s 96 sitting team members and candidates with names like Ian Goodenough and Zed Seselja, and notable female members like Julie Bishop on the way out, it was easy to mistake the list for an Australian festival line up, an error that has since been repeated by several youth media outlets.

“Wait…is Slade Brockman not one of the guys from Brockhampton?” asked radio DJ Kenny Nut-Hat.

“Michaelia Cash isn’t a rapper, is she?”

Prime Minister and lifelong Tina Arena fan Scott Morrison, defended claims of sexism by stating a Coalition festival would be “a fun day for all Australians.”

“It would be rad! Dutton on drums, me on bass, give Abbott a tambourine so he has something to do! Pair of maracas for Pyney, obvs! A Liberal Day Out! We should do this on Australia Day!” exclaimed the Prime Minister as he mimed playing a guitar.

“We’ll bring the sniffer dogs lol!”
